It was another perfect day in the region called Kalos. The sun was shining, the sky was almost cloudless, there was a convenient breeze, the Pokémon were peacefully living without a care in a certain forest.

There they were, our little heroes and heroines. They were resting in a calm forest just to relax once in a while. Because who doesn't want to take a small break once in a while?

But of course Ash being Ash means that there is still training even if it is rest day. The same could be said about Serena too since she didn't want to lose in the next showcase. So the two of them were training respectively for literally the whole day.

It was almost evening so the sun was slowly ascending to the horizon in order to ascend on the other half of the mysterious world of Pokémon. The intense heat was slowly turning into a mild 20°C. The perfect day was turning into the perfect evening.

"Hey Clemont, could you please take care of everything for today? I'm really tired because of the extra training. Uwah..." Ash asked Clemont while he yawned

"Yeah sure. Have a good rest!" Clemont answered Ash

And with that Ash went away to regain his energy for the next day by sleeping.

"Oh man, no wonder why he's so sleepy. He ate three plates of spaghetti." Clemont said to nobody in particular as he collected the empty and dirty plates and realized that there were three plates at Ash's seat. Having finished collecting them, Clemont put them into a machine.

Said machine was actually an invention of his. In fact, a really old one. He invented it even before he met Ash.

Flashback to the time before Clemont met Ash at Clemont's house located in Lumiose City

"Hey Clemont, could you help me out with the shop please?" Meyer asked his son, Clemont

"Of course dad. What should I do?" Clemont replied from his room which he shares with his little sister Bonnie.

"I'm currently in the kitchen doing the chores so I can't serve the customers so could you fill in for me as a cashier?" Mr. Meyer explained.

Indeed, Clemont's father runs a small shop which sells small electronics parts or just parts for anything, that's why Clemont can invent things to his heart's content.

"Thanks Clemont, you're such a great help." Meyer praised Clemont

And with that, Clemont ran stopped his current work on Clembot. Clembot wasn't still finished. His complete body was uncovered and his legs were missing. Clemont put the wrench down and walked out of the room towards the stairs. He went downstairs and entered the shop.

He walked towards the check stand and waited. Occasionally, a few customers entered the shop and bought some parts. While serving the cash, Clemont thought about lots of things but one thing couldn't leave his mind

'Dad seems to be pretty busy lately. I wonder what he's doing? I mean Bonnie and I are often at the gym so I don't know how many customers usually come. Anyway, I should help dad a little more often. But how? I have to run the gym and watch over Bonnie... Ah I know! I should invent something that helps him... but what? That's it Maybe I should build a cashier robot so he doesn't have to run the shop all the time.'

Clemont's sudden creativity led to an excellent idea but as fast as the creativity came so quickly it also passed. The first idea of helping his father was indeed good but the second wasn't the best. Clemont realized it too after remembering a certain event in the past.

Another Flashback

It was midsummer, the sun was always shining brightly during the day which increased the temperature, as the time of a day slowly elapses, the temperature falls by a few degrees and the normal but somehow special summer evening comes into being.
